Hi, I do not have an exact aneswer for your problem - I don't know
how to time the trigger other then forcing it to popup a messagebox
on windows during the execution of trigger.

But what about speeding up your query instead?
Maybe instead of triggers that delete each and evey row singularly
put some foreign key constraints that will force a cascade delete. I
believe that using the technique your query will execute much faster
